Did you recently purchase a new home? If so, you may be missing some essential items, and some decor as well. Here are some good ways to furnish a new home.
This post is full of practical ideas of things to buy for a new house as well as items that make your life easier. We also include some home decor suggestions to make your new place warm and inviting for friends and family.
Indoor Plants
Indoor plants make your home a warm and inviting place. They’ll lead you to keep the blinds and curtains open during the day to brighten up your home.
Plants are a beautiful design element too. Your friends and family will enjoy them, along with bystanders who look through the window. If you enjoy plants, consider designing your home with the boho style, which uses a lot of indoor plants.
Studies have shown that plants improve concentration, productivity, and boost people’s mood, in the home and at work.
Wall Art
Wall art is essential for any home. This can include a wide variety of different media: paintings, drawings, posters, bulletin boards, mirrors, wall sculptures, and shelving are a few popular ideas to inject some life into your home. You might also consider family photos from vacations you’ve taken.
When you furnish a new home, don’t forget the bedroom. If you want to decorate your bedroom or your children’s bedrooms, think of different themes that you love. Maybe you want to create a beach vibe. Maybe you love soccer so you want to create a soccer-themed room. The possibilities are endless with wall art.
Rugs
Just as the walls tend to be plain right after you move in, your floors might need some decorating too. Luckily, rugs can do the job in almost any home. Place a rug at every entryway so that guests don’t track any dirt in the home.
Rugs come in a variety of shapes and sizes too. One of the most popular rugs right now is boho rugs, which feature bright colors, rugged material, and patterns.
Window Curtains or Blinds
Window curtains and blinds are incredibly practical, and curtains can be a beautiful addition to your home as well. If you have a room with a lot of natural light, white curtains work great as a light diffuser. You can also use other brighter colors if you want the room to stand out more.
Make sure all your bedrooms have blinds. Someone in your family will sleep there every day, and the blinds come in handy in the early morning when the sun comes up. You can adjust them according to your mood – if you’re ready to start your day, let the light in! But if you just want to relax, close the blinds and enjoy the ambiance.
Door Wreath
Everyone has a front door, and it’s the place your guests arrive at first. Delivery workers will also pass by your front door every day. So, why not give it a little upgrade with a door wreath? It gives a nice first impression and can be used year-round.
Outdoor Chairs and Tables
Normally, when you buy a home, there are more than enough chairs and tables for your friends and family. But it’s also a great idea to decorate your outdoor space. Before summer comes around, be sure to purchase some outdoor furniture: chairs, tables, stools, couches, and more. This way, you can enjoy the nice weather with your guests.
Smart Thermostat
Smart technologies are great ways to furnish a new home. Smart thermostats are incredibly popular. They provide you with ultimate flexibility over the temperature in your new home and may help you save on heating and cooling as well. With a smart thermostat, you’re much less likely to cool or heat your home too much, so it can be an incredibly cost-effective technology to invest in.
TIP: The central heating grant gives you access to a range of leading boiler and thermostatic radiator valves to install in your home. Warma UK has helped thousands of customers improve their homes’ energy efficiency and reduce their energy bills all with the help of government backed heating grants.
Smart Speaker
Have you heard of Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant? These technologies are becoming more and more popular because they are so convenient to have in your home. You can ask questions to your smart speaker, set reminders, alarms, look information up on the web, play music, and much more.
Dish-ware and Silverware
Dish-ware and silverware are essentials to furnish a new home. You can find many different types at a retail store or online. It’s always good to buy extras in case any of your dishes break over time.
Range Hood
While we’re focused on the kitchen, consider buying a range hood to improve your kitchen ventilation. Range hoods can be mounted on your wall, over a kitchen island, outdoors, under cabinets, or inside custom cabinetry.
Lawn Mower
We’re moving to the outside for our last item to buy for your new house: a lawnmower. Depending on what you like best, you can go with a push mower or a rideable mower. Rideable mowers are convenient but they can be pricey. If you have a lot of grass, they are a great option. Otherwise push mowers are the way to go.
